Hey, I got something for you,
Will you accept my gift?
I made it just for you,
Want to see what it is?
I didn't have much time to wrap it,
Or adorn it with a bow.
It's not in a gift bag,
It was in the window;
Of this little shop,
On that little street.
The little tag on it,
Said it couldn't be beat.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking,
You think I got scammed.
You think I got boosted,
By some clever salesmaaaaannn?
Well Listen! Close your eyes,
Hold out your hands.
This is something you need,
You've had it on demand.
Every time you cried,
Every time you hurt.
Every time you felt,
Like no one knew your worth.
For all the times you laughed,
And, oh yeah, all the times you smiled.
This ought to hold you for a long while.
My gift is HOPE!

Good one...beautiful and unique. That's what I'm talking about..mystery and intrigue in a poem. By the way you can hold hope in your hand, it's a way of accepting it and not denying that hope is still here if we really want it. I agree with the young lady about using it in spoken word. That's the style of poetry I do..I love to bring it to life! I hope you've made arrangements to publish all those poems. Don't let the dust settle on them!
PS I hold on to hope daily, with God, hope, perseverance and faith I will make it.

Sempre Fi,
Your words exude the hope of humanity, and I will accept them with open arms. I will share them with all who come across my path, and adorn my heart with the words. You are a pricelss brother in a world of meaningless nonesense.
Blessings upon you and your family.
Your sister in Christ,
Sassy

I really like this - as it keeps you wondering until the very end what the gift is.

I like it. It's very thoughtful and one of the best gifts you can give, though you can't put a price tag on it or hold it in your hands.

If we have no hope we have nothing but emptiness. Your message is touching to my heart.
Thank you!
